Balzac wrote in the context of a cultural shift that saw the rise of “the principles of money” to the detriment of all other powers. Focusing on specific junctures in the author’s life, the ten studies gathered here offer gateways into a novelistic imaginary marked by the omnipresence of the economic sphere.
